Not even close!

He's quite close. See Todd' post.

I wrote "straight and level flight" simply because that was the scenario
being discussed in the original post. But any unaccelerated flight means
lift equals weight, and that includes the "fully developed spin" and "steady
sinking mush" Roger described.
